SHIPPING DATES
WHEN ORDERS GET SHIPPED
Orders get shipped out every Wednesday. Orders from Monday to Sunday are made and packaged on Monday and Tuesday, then shipped Wednesday. Other days are added if an over abundance of orders occurs.
WHY SHIP LIKE THIS
There's a number of practical reasons. The company has a workforce of one person, consolidating orders saves hours every week. Time is also needed to make the teas, coffee, and soaps (A tea typically has to "sit" for about 2 days before it can be packaged). We also need to frequently do inventory to reorder supplies and ingredients. When we were doing daily orders, many orders were frequently delayed by up to a week because of this, so the once a week method saw little change for many people.
an amazing tea, an excellent daily driver needs no added honey or sugar it is full-filling alone
A great smooth flavor; doesn’t get too bitter.
This was perhaps the finest oolong I've ever had. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, and the aroma astounding, from opening the package to the steeping itself. Notes of lilac and spring air on the nose, to the semi-sweet, soft tanin taste. Just wonderful.
This tastes better than the same tea sold from different places for a much higher price. Thank you for these prices, I hate having to pay so much for my favorite tea.
Don't get me wrong, your other teas have been quite good. But this one had something much more....genuine about it. Like, if someone ever asked me what do I expect tea to taste like, this is the flavor I would pick. Also thank you for letting me know about brewing it multiple times, it really is even better the second time around. I hope you guys keep growing so you can add more teas like this to the store. It was my first non-flavored tea (kind of ironic that I found the "non-flavored" to have the best flavor), and I feel like I am hooked on this and want to explore even more.
